To convert PPT to Word, upload the PPT file, start the conversion and download the result. LibreOffice opens the PPT and saves it as Word; styles and tables carry over where Word supports them.
PPT is interpreted slide by slide - Masters, text, artwork, charts, notes, media relationships - Then rebuilt using whatever Word actually supports. Looking similar is no guarantee that playback behavior or editability survived; check those separately. PPT enters through a legacy compound-binary presentation parser that resolves slide records, masters, drawing objects, notes, transitions, and embedded media. Requesting the Word-labeled destination asks for an editable word-processing file, not any one guaranteed legacy version; verify the actual output against the required Word release.
Read structure - The legacy binary PowerPoint presentation model. Rebuilt structure - A generic request for an editable word-processing file, not one specific guaranteed Word version.

Before converting a whole batch, read our overview of common file formats; it explains why a format is a set of tradeoffs rather than a label.
Used for sequenced visual slides with accompanying speaker notes.
Designed for editable word-processing documents.
Run the slide show and inspect master layouts, transitions, notes, charts, and embedded media.
Open the result in the exact Word version required and check pagination, styles, tables, links, and tracked changes.
Animations, media, SmartArt, fonts, and newer effects may be flattened or repositioned.
Which concrete file version gets produced, and how faithfully layout survives, both depend on the fonts installed and the backend's chosen format.
The writer builds a generic request for an editable word-processing file, not one specific guaranteed Word version and labels the result as application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document. The receiving application - Not the extension alone - Is the final compatibility test.
Word earns its place when its editing, reflow, or reader support outweighs exact PPT structure - Just test the most complex page or chapter before committing to it.
